Chapter 690: Was Not A Favor, But A Life-saving Operation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy TranslationAt the same time in the Imperial Capital Hospital, Professor Rudolf Wagner completed the last TIPS surgery of the day. The surgery was very simple, at least for him. That was because almost half the firstline clinical doctors went to the frontline, leaving the workload at home less than half of what it used to be. Therefore, the professor did not hesitate to occupy most of the beds in the department. He even called Little Oliver over from Germany to be his assistant. Although the surgery went smoothly, Professor Rudolf Wagner was very troubled. The professor was speechless when he faced the stiff Chang Yue and Xie Yiren, who had her head lowered and only worked. He was also worried about the boss’s safety but there was too much work to do, so he forgot about it while he was busy. Sometimes, the professor would think, ‘When will these days end? If something happened to the boss, would the project still be able to proceed?’ Little Oliver was busy sending the patient away. The professor saw Xie Yiren cleaning up the abandoned items in the operating theater with her head lowered. He felt that the atmosphere was very depressing. If he did not say anything, he would go crazy. “Beautiful Miss Xie.” Professor Rudolf Wagner sounded like he was reciting a psalm. “Huh?” “I saw the boss on television. Don’t worry about what happened a few days ago, the boss…” As he said this, Xie Yiren lowered her head and quickly packed up the medical waste. “I think the boss is a little haggard. I think it’s necessary to do some research in the future to destroy the melanocytes so that the boss won’t look so haggard. Yes, this research has a vast space in women’s beauty. It’ll make every woman become Snow White and all cosmetics will disappear from existence.” “Lil Fugui.” Xie Yiren looked up with a rare coldness. The smile on her face had disappeared the day Zheng Ren left. “Yes?” The professor asked. “She won’t turn into Snow White with that method. If I remember correctly, the symptom you mentioned should be vitiligo.” After Xie Yiren said that, she started to get busy again. Professor Rudolf Wagner sighed. This lady boss looked weak but her mind was always clear. He wanted to tell a joke but she turned the conversation cold instead. The professor wanted to help Xie Yiren pack her things but she kicked him out. After the surgery was done, he should go to see the patient after surgery, not help the scrub nurse in the operating theater. In the past, Zheng Ren had done this. The professor left the operating theater helplessly and walked along the hospital corridor. He was a little bored and his heart was empty. He missed his boss so much. He did not know if he would be able to come back alive. Professor Rudolf Wagner would never lie to himself. His chances of coming back were almost non-existent. It was all just beautiful hope. The hospital was also a little deserted. All the firstline doctors had been pulled to the frontline. There was indeed not enough people who could work. If that was the case, he would perform more surgeries. If his boss could come back alive, he would give him a surprise! Professor Rudolf Wagner clenched his fists and cheered himself on. .. .. Chief Jiang made another call. The other side seemed to be very busy and no one picked up for a long time. Chief Jiang knew what the emergency department was like now. Right now, the entire hospital was as busy as a pot of boiling water. Many doctors and nurses worked continuously for at least 48 hours. Not to mention picking up the phone, they did not even have time to drink a mouthful of water. He was very patient. Both operating rooms were occupied. There were fewer and fewer patients waiting for surgery outside. This made his anxious and his restless heart calmed down a lot. The phone rang for about 20 seconds before someone picked up. The person on the other side seemed to be in a bad mood. She was so anxious that she seemed to be on fire. “Who is it? What’s the matter?” “I’m Old Jiang. Where’s your chief?” Chief Jiang asked. “Chief Jiang, our chief is on stage,” a nurse on the other side said hurriedly. “Have you told your chief about the matter that I mentioned?” “It’s been arranged. He isn’t going to Huaxi. Those who can go to Huaxi are all critically ill patients. Our chief has arranged for that young man to go to the Provincial Hospital,” the nurse said. “Alright, there’s nothing else. You can go back to your work.” Chief Jiang hung up the phone. Zheng Ren’s arrangements had been completed. He was very relieved. He leaned against the wall and gradually closed his eyes. He did not even have the time to sit down. He just leaned against the wall and fell asleep. On the other side of the phone, the nurse hurriedly hung up the phone and flew out of the emergency department’s simple operating theater and shouted through the door, “Chief Jiang just called to ask if the patient with the steel bar injury has been transferred. I said that he has been sent to the Provincial Hospital.” “Has he been sent?” “The first-aid ambulance is not around. If there’s a rush, I’ll find a volunteer’s private car to send him over.” “How’s his condition? Get the doctor outside to assess him. If it’s possible, hurry up and send him over.” The young nurse immediately ran off again and disappeared without a trace. In the operating theater, a professor from the emergency department and emergency department’s department chief from Huaxi were performing surgery. They heard the entire conversation. After holding it in for a long time, he still felt a little depressed and said in a low voice, “Chief Liu, are you still taking favors here?” The hair on Chief Liu’s back instantly stood on end. The fatigue all over his body disappeared without a trace as a surge of adrenalin hit. “How could that be? Teacher Wang, don’t you know? The young man mentioned just now emptied his company’s warehouse. He brought a fleet of cars to deliver the interventional catheters or something like that.” The doctor on the other side was stunned for a moment but did not continue speaking. “The steel bar that flew out on the way there punctured the body of the car and penetrated his left leg. That young man is also very strong. He drove the car straight to the hospital,” Chief Liu quickly explained. “Catheters?” “Yes, there was a professor who came back from overseas. He landed from a helicopter and specializes in interventional surgery for pelvic fractures. You also know that for patients like this, there are no good methods other than interventional surgery.” Professor Wang who was opposite him nodded and remained silent. “The surgery was done very quickly. It was said that two doctors from the frontline who brought injured people down also started to perform the surgery today. There weren’t enough medical supplies for them, so they called that man. This young man is here to save lives.” As Chief Liu spoke, his voice choked for a moment and he did not continue to explain. The operating theater became quiet and the surgery continued. After more than ten minutes, the emergency surgery was completed. The patient was carried on a stretcher trolley and sent away. It was only during times like these that the operating theater would be temporarily calm. Professor Wang had his head lowered the whole time. He did not speak after he heard Chief Liu’s explanation. After sending the patient off, Chief Liu was embarrassed and wanted to say something. Otherwise, the atmosphere would be too awkward. But before he could say anything, Professor Wang raised his head and said seriously, “I’m sorry.” There were faint tears streaking down his face.
